We've recently been working on a short film for the Catlin Arctic Survey, which is an incredible project, which hopes to answer one of the most important environmental questions of our time: how long will the Arctic Ocean's sea ice cover remain a permanent feature of our planet?
This film was created as a summary of what last years (2009) project was all about. Now in its second year, the Catlin Arctic Survey continued the project into 2010. The film required several interviews that we shot, a series of VFX and motion graphics that we created, along with the music (composed by Elliott) and the editing.

Soil and plant ecologist Dr Kevin Newsham from British Antarctic Survey talks about his research on the response of soil microbes to warming in the Arctic. He studies these microbes using open top chambers in an area experiencing unprecedented change.

China's 12-cable deep-water geophysical prospecting ship HaiYang Shi You 720 completed the country's first 3-dimensional seismic survey in the Arctic on Tuesday.
It is the first time that China carries out such a survey in a polar region on Earth, marking that fact that the country now has the capability to do the survey in all waters around the Earth.
The seismic vessel implemented the explorations amid complex conditions in waters at latitudes higher than 75 degrees north in the Barents Sea, more than 900 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle.
"Crew of the Hai Yang Shi You 720 completed 4,100 square kilometers of 3D seismic survey in the Barents Sea within more than three months. The exploration areas are close to the North Pole and 300 kilometers away from the nearest land. As China's first geophysical prospecting ship to reach a polar region, the vessel has set a new data-collection record of 1,820 square kilometers per month," said Chen Zhiwei, crew manager of Hai Yang Shi You 720.
The vessel was built by the China Oilfield ServicesLimited (COSL), the leading integrated oilfield services providers in the Asian offshore market.

HugeAntarctic iceberg finally breaks free
After months of ‘hanging by a thread’ a vast iceberg the size of Norfolk has finally broken off Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf. Around 30 metres of this 190m thick block of ice sits above the sea surface.
Scientists now have opportunities to study the stability of the remaining ice shelf, as well as understanding how new biological communities might occupy the newly exposed ocean and underlying seabed areas.

The Territory was formed on 3March1962, although the UK's claim to this portion of the Antarctic dates back to Letters patent of 1908 and 1917. The area now covered by the Territory includes three regions which, before 1962, were administered by the British as separate dependencies of the Falkland Islands: Graham Land, the South Orkney Islands, and the South Shetland Islands. Since the Antarctic Treaty came into force in 1961, Article 4 of which states "The treaty does not recognize, dispute, nor establish territorial sovereignty claims; no new claims shall be asserted while the treaty is in force", most countries do not recognise territorial claims in Antarctica. The United Kingdom has ratified the treaty.

British Antarctic Survey

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is the United Kingdom's national Antarctic operation and has an active role in Antarctic affairs. BAS is part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has over 400 staff. It operates five research stations, two ships and five aircraft in and around Antarctica. BAS addresses key global and regional issues. This involves joint research projects with over 40 UK universities and more than 120 national and international collaborations.

History

Operation Tabarin was a small British expedition in 1943 to establish permanently occupied bases in the Antarctic. It was a joint undertaking by the Admiralty and the Colonial Office. At the end of the war it was renamed the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and full control passed to the Colonial Office. At this time there were four stations, three occupied and one unoccupied. By the time FIDS was renamed British Antarctic Survey in 1962, 19 stations and three refuges had been established.

Pen Hadow

Rupert Nigel Pendrill Hadow known as Pen Hadow (born 26 February 1962), is founding director of Geo Mission Ltd,
an environmental sponsorship organisation, and British polar guide and explorer. He is the first person to trek solo, and without resupply by third parties, from the north coast of Canada to the North Pole. and is the first Briton to have trekked, without resupply by third parties, to both the Geographical North and South Poles from the respective continental coastlines of North America and Antarctica.

Early life and education

Hadow was educated at Temple Grove School, a former co-educational independent school at Heron's Ghyll in East Sussex, and then at Harrow School, an independent school in north-west London, where he was Deputy Head of School and captain for the School's 1st XV rugby and 1st XI Harrow Football teams. In 1977, while at Harrow, he re-instated the school tradition of Long Ducker, a twenty-mile run from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Marble Arch and back. The feat had not previously been completed since 1927. He attended University College London and graduated with a BA (Hons) in Geography in 1984.

Larsen C Ice Shelf

Larsen C Ice Shelf

Larsen C Ice Shelf

British Antarctic Survey (BAS) recently captured this video footage of a huge crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf, on the Antarctic Peninsula.
Currently a huge iceberg, roughly the size of Norfolk, looks set to break off Larsen C Ice Shelf, which is more than twice the size of Wales. Satellite observations from February 2017 show a growing crack in the ice shelf which suggests that an iceberg with an area of more than 5,000 km² is likely to calve soon.
Researchers from the UK-based MIDAS project, led by Swansea University, have reported several rapid elongations of the crack in recent years. BAS scientists are involved in a long-running research programme to monitor ice shelves to understand the causes and implications of the rapid changes observed in the region. They shot this footage as they flew over the ice shelf on their way to collect science equipment.
During the current Antarctic field season, a glaciology research team has been on Larsen C using seismic techniques to survey the seafloor beneath the ice shelf. Because a break up looks likely the team did not set up camp on the ice as usual. Instead they made one-off trips by twin otter aircraft supported from the UK’sRothera Research Station.
Ice shelves in normal situations produce an iceberg every few decades. There is not enough information to know whether the expected calving event on Larsen C is an effect of climate change or not, although there is good scientific evidence that climate change has caused thinning of the ice shelf. Once the iceberg has calved, the big question is whether Larsen C will start to retreat.

The British Antarctic Survey - January Lecture

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) operates a DASH 7 and 4 Twin Otters in support of the UK Polar Research. Traditionally this has been focussed on the Antarctic but the science demands are now extending to the Arctic. The talk will explore the difficulties experienced in these challenging Polar environments both from an operational, engineering and research perspective. The speaker has a broad perspective of work for BAS with his first employment as a wintering scientist in 1989. He has since conducted research in both the Arctic and Antarctic and was responsible for delivering the UK ResearchProgramme, in Antarctica, for 9 years. Before the current role, he managed the change of operation from Private to the Complex/Business category (Part 125).

The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning (FULL MOVIE)

The Antarcitica Chellenge: A Global WarningAl Gore’s Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth has done a lot to raise the international awareness of the environmental issue of global warming. But where do things stand today? The AntarcticaChallenge: A Global Warning is a one-hour HD documentary that will go to the source of the climate change crisis: Antarctica. Here we will explore first-hand the environmental challenges facing that frozen continent and, by extension, the world.
The InternationalPolarYears 2007-2009 represent an incredible opportunity for the world to work together. This film will meet these brave scientists working at Vernadsky Station and with the British Antarctic Survey as they concentrate their efforts living in often harsh and life-threatening conditions in their heroic attempt to save the world.
This documentary will also provide support interviews from polar experts and research scientists around the world as well as rare footage of wildlife including penguins in their hatching season.
The film reports on the new phenomenon of suicide among penguins, the imminent rise of the world’s sea level due to ice melting and show amazing footage of new vegetation growing in the world’s largest desert.
These new discoveries were considered so valuable that this film became the only one invited by the United Nations to screen to world leaders during the Climate ChangeConference in Copenhagen, December, 2009.
The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning provides audiences with a rare glimpse of the Earth’s most undiscovered continent through the eyes of award-winning cinematographer, Damir Chytil, CSC, one of the world’s foremost polar cameramen and a pioneer of HD film photography.
It is the mandate of this documentary to bring to light the theories and statistics first brought to the public’s attention in An Inconvenient Truth with hands-on exploration of the continent, its wildlife and the brave men and women who have given up the comforts of civilization in order to save it.
Winner of three international environmental film awards: The SilverSierraAward (YosemiteInternational Film Festival, USA), Best Environmental & EcologyFilm (InternationalFilm festivalIreland) and Best Climate Change Film (New Delhi Environmental & WildlifeFilm Festival, India).

We've recently been working on a short film for the Catlin Arctic Survey, which is an incredible project, which hopes to answer one of the most important environmental questions of our time: how long will the Arctic Ocean's sea ice cover remain a permanent feature of our planet?
This film was created as a summary of what last years (2009) project was all about. Now in its second year, the Catlin Arctic Survey continued the project into 2010. The film required several interviews that we shot, a series of VFX and motion graphics that we created, along with the music (composed by Elliott) and the editing.

China's 12-cable deep-water geophysical prospecting ship HaiYang Shi You 720 completed the country's first 3-dimensional seismic survey in the Arctic on Tuesday.
It is the first time that China carries out such a survey in a polar region on Earth, marking that fact that the country now has the capability to do the survey in all waters around the Earth.
The seismic vessel implemented the explorations amid complex conditions in waters at latitudes higher than 75 degrees north in the Barents Sea, more than 900 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle.
"Crew of the Hai Yang Shi You 720 completed 4,100 square kilometers of 3D seismic survey in the Barents Sea within more than three months. The exploration areas are close to the North Pole and 300 kilometers away from the nearest land. As China's first geophysical prospecting ship to reach a polar region, the vessel has set a new data-collection record of 1,820 square kilometers per month," said Chen Zhiwei, crew manager of Hai Yang Shi You 720.
The vessel was built by the China Oilfield ServicesLimited (COSL), the leading integrated oilfield services providers in the Asian offshore market.

China's 12-cable deep-water geophysical prospecting ship HaiYang Shi You 720 completed the country's first 3-dimensional seismic survey in the Arctic on Tuesday.
It is the first time that China carries out such a survey in a polar region on Earth, marking that fact that the country now has the capability to do the survey in all waters around the Earth.
The seismic vessel implemented the explorations amid complex conditions in waters at latitudes higher than 75 degrees north in the Barents Sea, more than 900 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle.
"Crew of the Hai Yang Shi You 720 completed 4,100 square kilometers of 3D seismic survey in the Barents Sea within more than three months. The exploration areas are close to the North Pole and 300 kilometers away from the nearest land. As China's first geophysical prospecting ship to reach a polar region, the vessel has set a new data-collection record of 1,820 square kilometers per month," said Chen Zhiwei, crew manager of Hai Yang Shi You 720.

Scientists are about to explore a part of the world that's been hidden for 120,000 years.
A team of researchers, led by the British Antarctic Survey, is heading to Antarctica this week to investigate a mysterious marine ecosystem that’s been hidden underneath an Antarctic ice shelf for tens of thousands of years.

HugeAntarctic iceberg finally breaks free
After months of ‘hanging by a thread’ a vast iceberg the size of Norfolk has finally broken off Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf. Around 30 metres of this 190m thick block of ice sits above the sea surface.
Scientists now have opportunities to study the stability of the remaining ice shelf, as well as understanding how new biological communities might occupy the newly exposed ocean and underlying seabed areas.

HugeAntarctic iceberg finally breaks free
After months of ‘hanging by a thread’ a vast iceberg the size of Norfolk has finally broken off Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf. Around 30 metres of this 190m thick block of ice sits above the sea surface.
Scientists now have opportunities to study the stability of the remaining ice shelf, as well as understanding how new biological communities might occupy the newly exposed ocean and underlying seabed areas.

British Antarctic Survey (BAS) recently captured this video footage of a huge crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf, on the Antarctic Peninsula.
Currently a huge iceberg, roughly the size of Norfolk, looks set to break off Larsen C Ice Shelf, which is more than twice the size of Wales. Satellite observations from February 2017 show a growing crack in the ice shelf which suggests that an iceberg with an area of more than 5,000 km² is likely to calve soon.
Researchers from the UK-based MIDAS project, led by Swansea University, have reported several rapid elongations of the crack in recent years. BAS scientists are involved in a long-running research programme to monitor ice shelves to understand the causes and implications of the rapid changes observed in the region. They shot this footage as they flew over the ice shelf on their way to collect science equipment.
During the current Antarctic field season, a glaciology research team has been on Larsen C using seismic techniques to survey the seafloor beneath the ice shelf. Because a break up looks likely the team did not set up camp on the ice as usual. Instead they made one-off trips by twin otter aircraft supported from the UK’sRothera Research Station.
Ice shelves in normal situations produce an iceberg every few decades. There is not enough information to know whether the expected calving event on Larsen C is an effect of climate change or not, although there is good scientific evidence that climate change has caused thinning of the ice shelf. Once the iceberg has calved, the big question is whether Larsen C will start to retreat.

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) operates a DASH 7 and 4 Twin Otters in support of the UK Polar Research. Traditionally this has been focussed on the Antarctic but the science demands are now extending to the Arctic. The talk will explore the difficulties experienced in these challenging Polar environments both from an operational, engineering and research perspective. The speaker has a broad perspective of work for BAS with his first employment as a wintering scientist in 1989. He has since conducted research in both the Arctic and Antarctic and was responsible for delivering the UK ResearchProgramme, in Antarctica, for 9 years. Before the current role, he managed the change of operation from Private to the Complex/Business category (Part 125).

The Antarcitica Chellenge: A Global WarningAl Gore’s Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth has done a lot to raise the international awareness of the environmental issue of global warming. But where do things stand today? The AntarcticaChallenge: A Global Warning is a one-hour HD documentary that will go to the source of the climate change crisis: Antarctica. Here we will explore first-hand the environmental challenges facing that frozen continent and, by extension, the world.
The InternationalPolarYears 2007-2009 represent an incredible opportunity for the world to work together. This film will meet these brave scientists working at Vernadsky Station and with the British Antarctic Survey as they concentrate their efforts living in often harsh and life-threatening conditions in their heroic attempt to save the world.
This documentary will also provide support interviews from polar experts and research scientists around the world as well as rare footage of wildlife including penguins in their hatching season.
The film reports on the new phenomenon of suicide among penguins, the imminent rise of the world’s sea level due to ice melting and show amazing footage of new vegetation growing in the world’s largest desert.
These new discoveries were considered so valuable that this film became the only one invited by the United Nations to screen to world leaders during the Climate ChangeConference in Copenhagen, December, 2009.
The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning provides audiences with a rare glimpse of the Earth’s most undiscovered continent through the eyes of award-winning cinematographer, Damir Chytil, CSC, one of the world’s foremost polar cameramen and a pioneer of HD film photography.
It is the mandate of this documentary to bring to light the theories and statistics first brought to the public’s attention in An Inconvenient Truth with hands-on exploration of the continent, its wildlife and the brave men and women who have given up the comforts of civilization in order to save it.
Winner of three international environmental film awards: The SilverSierraAward (YosemiteInternational Film Festival, USA), Best Environmental & EcologyFilm (InternationalFilm festivalIreland) and Best Climate Change Film (New Delhi Environmental & WildlifeFilm Festival, India).

On a heat map of 'personal tracking devices' and their recorded travel paths, a flight path was discovered leaving Area 51, which flies east across the entire continent and beyond into the Atlantic Ocean. The flight path disappears, however it's trajectory lines up with a 'BritishTerritory' Island that accommodates British Military infrastructure, as well as a NASA facility, along with a 2 mile long runway.
The island is called 'Ascension Island'. Named after the day it was discovered, in reference to the day "The departure of Christ from Earth into the presence of God".
In this video you will see that not only does the Area 51 flight, head right toward this island, but the island itself, appears to be associated with strange illuminated symbols in the ocean, that line up with a feature...

Two polar guides have been married in the first official wedding ceremony in the British Antarctic Territory (BAT).
Tom Sylvester and Julie Baum were married at the Rothera Research Station on Adelaide Island to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Ms Baum's dress had orange fabric from an old tent and wedding pictures were taken in temperatures of -9C (15F).
Mr Sylvester said: "Antarctica is an incredibly beautiful place and we have made such great friends here."
He said the setting "couldn't be better".
"We have always wanted to have a small personal wedding, but never imagined we'd be able to get married in one of the most remote places on Earth."
Ms Baum added: "Over the last 10 years, Tom and I have been working and travelling around the world. Getting married in Antarctica feels like it was meant to be."
Mr Sylvester had to make the brass wedding rings on the lathe in the metal workshop at the research station.
There were 20 guests from the station at the ceremony, which was performed by station leader and BAT magistrate Paul Samways.
The couple have been together for 11 years having first met at an outdoor centre in Wales.
Both are experienced mountaineers, instructors and expedition leaders and have been engaged for three years.
Mr Sylvester is from Sheffield and Ms Baum was born in Birmingham but lives in Yoxall, Staffordshire.
Their wedding was registered with the BAT Government, based in the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, and the marriage is valid in the UK.
It is the first marriage since the BAT marriage law was reformed to make it easier for marriages to be arranged in the territory.
Rothera is the largest facility for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) that the couple both joined in 2016.
It is a centre for biological research and a support hub for operations.

Two polar guides have been married in the first official wedding ceremony in the British Antarctic Territory (BAT).
Tom Sylvester and Julie Baum were married at the Rothera Research Station on Adelaide Island to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Ms Baum's dress had orange fabric from an old tent and wedding pictures were taken in temperatures of -9C (15F).
Mr Sylvester said: "Antarctica is an incredibly beautiful place and we have made such great friends here."
He said the setting "couldn't be better".
"We have always wanted to have a small personal wedding, but never imagined we'd be able to get married in one of the most remote places on Earth."
Ms Baum added: "Over the last 10 years, Tom and I have been working and travelling around the world. Getting married in Antarctica feels like it was meant to be."
Mr Sylvester had to make the brass wedding rings on the lathe in the metal workshop at the research station.
There were 20 guests from the station at the ceremony, which was performed by station leader and BAT magistrate Paul Samways.
The couple have been together for 11 years having first met at an outdoor centre in Wales.
Both are experienced mountaineers, instructors and expedition leaders and have been engaged for three years.
Mr Sylvester is from Sheffield and Ms Baum was born in Birmingham but lives in Yoxall, Staffordshire.
Their wedding was registered with the BAT Government, based in the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, and the marriage is valid in the UK.
It is the first marriage since the BAT marriage law was reformed to make it easier for marriages to be arranged in the territory.
Rothera is the largest facility for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) that the couple both joined in 2016.
It is a centre for biological research and a support hub for operations.

On a heat map of 'personal tracking devices' and their recorded travel paths, a flight path was discovered leaving Area 51, which flies east across the entire continent and beyond into the Atlantic Ocean. The flight path disappears, however it's trajectory lines up with a 'BritishTerritory' Island that accommodates British Military infrastructure, as well as a NASA facility, along with a 2 mile long runway.
The island is called 'Ascension Island'. Named after the day it was discovered, in reference to the day "The departure of Christ from Earth into the presence of God".
In this video you will see that not only does the Area 51 flight, head right toward this island, but the island itself, appears to be associated with strange illuminated symbols in the ocean, that line up with a feature in Antarctica, that clearly has human activity around its perimeter.
What is this aircraft?
An island that references 'Jesus leaving Earth...
A connection to a feature in Antarctica?
How do symbols made from GPS tracker data appear in the ocean?
Maybe the Department of Defense / DARPA should have their employees remove personal tracking devices before coming to work, as not to disclose evidence that their secret aircraft exist....
Check it out for yourself. Best way is to locate the island, then look toward Florida and find the flight path. Zoom in and start following. It will take you to Area 51.

The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, located 300 miles from the coast of Argentina. They consist of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, together with 776 smaller islands. Stanley, on East Falkland, is the capital. The islands are a self-governing Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom.
Stanley (formerly known as "Port Stanley") is the capital and only true city in the Falkland Islands. It is located on the isle of East Falkland, on a north-facing slope, south of Stanley Harbour, in one of the wettest parts of the islands. As of the 2006 census, the city had a population of 2,115.
The video begins aboard the Star Princess as we sail into Stanley Harbor in the Falkland Islands. Next there is a tour of the town of Stanley complete with comments from our colorful local guide. Next is a visit to the penguin colony at Gypsy Cove. The video then concludes with our sail away from the Falkland Islands aboard the Star Princess.

The British Antarctic Survey - January Lecture

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) operates a DASH 7 and 4 Twin Otters in support of the UK Polar Research. Traditionally this has been focussed on the Antarctic but the science demands are now extending to the Arctic. The talk will explore the difficulties experienced in these challenging Polar environments both from an operational, engineering and research perspective. The speaker has a broad perspective of work for BAS with his first employment as a wintering scientist in 1989. He has since conducted research in both the Arctic and Antarctic and was responsible for delivering the UK ResearchProgramme, in Antarctica, for 9 years. Before the current role, he managed the change of operation from Private to the Complex/Business category (Part 125).

All Star Films recovery - 'Survival in Limbo' for British Antarctic Survey

European Geosciences UnionMedia at General Assembly25 April 2017. The polar regions, at the north and southern extremes of our planet, are some of the most unique and fragile areas on Earth.
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the global average, with drastic consequences for the sea-ice cover in the region, which hit its lowest annual extent on record in 2016.
A talk at this press conference will look into what 2016 Arctic sea ice can tell us about future sea-ice conditions in the region. We will also hear about how future Arctic sea-ice cover will differ for 1.5 and 2°C, the two global warming limits in the Paris Agreement.

National Geographic Documentary - Leopard Seal The King Of Antarctica - Wildlife Animal

The leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx), also referred to as the sea leopard, is the second largest species of seal in the Antarctic (after the southern elephant seal). Along with all of the other earless seals, it belongs to the family Phocidae, and is the only species in the genus Hydrurga. The name hydrurga means "water worker" and leptonyx is the Greek for "small clawed".
The leopard seal is large and muscular, with a dark grey back and light grey on its stomach. Its throat is whitish with the black spots that give the seal its common name. Females are slightly larger than the males.[3] The overall length of this seal is 2.4–3.5 m (7.9–11.5 ft) and weight is from 200 to 600 kilograms (440 to 1,320 lb). They are about the same length as the northern walrus, but usually less than half the w...

Living and Working in the Freezer

Very little data of any kind exists from the early spring in the Arctic. The reason? It's extremely cold and that makes it difficult to survive, let alone conduct science. From March through the end of April, 2011, scientists from around the world braved temperatures of -48˚C in the high Canadian Arctic in the name of science. At the Catlin Arctic Survey's floating 'Ice Base' off Ellef Ringnes Island, Dr. Victoria Hill was investigating how organic material in fresh water near the surface of the ocean may be trapping heat from the sun, causing the upper ocean layers to warm. This is a very new area of research and this mechanism represents a key uncertainty in accurate modeling of ice thickness and upper ocean heat content. In this presentation Dr. Hill will talk about living and working a...

Exploration in the Arctic: Past, Present and Future

Continuing the Exploration at the Frontline collaboration between the Frontline Club and the Scientific Exploration Society, BBCScience editor David Shukman will chair a panel of explorers, scientists, reporters and experts to better understand how Arctic exploration has changed over the years.
The panel will discuss how knowledge and understanding of environmental impact, extraction of resources and geopolitical issues have moulded the region, and what the consequences are for those of us watching from afar. With oil firm Royal Dutch Shell having recently won conditional approval from the US Department of Interior to explore for oil in the Arctic, we will be asking what this kind of exploration means for the region.
This event will be chaired by BBC Science editor David Shukman, whose ...

Tourism - A Force for Good in the Antarctic? | Kim Crosbie | TEDxUniversityofEdinburghSalon

Antarctica may be dubbed the last true wilderness, but for how much longer? Increasingly the subject of global headlines, its latest challenge may not come from warming climates, or the fight for resource exploitation, but something seemingly more innocuous. Tourism. Here Kim Crosbie talks about the challenges and successes in the sustainable development of tourism in one of the world's most pristine landscapes, and how this may be developed in the future.
Kim Crosbie is the Executive Director of the secretariat of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators and has been working in the polar regions since 1991. She first started working in Antarctica as part of her PhD. She has been awarded the Polar Medal for contributions to knowledge in Arctic and Antarctic regions.

The InternationalPolarYears 2007-2009 represent an incredible opportunity for the world to work together. This film will meet these brave scientists working at Vernadsky Station and with the British Antarctic Survey as they concentrate their efforts living in often harsh and life-threatening conditions in their heroic attempt to save the world.
This documentary will also provide support interviews from polar experts and research scientists around the world as well as rare footage of wildlife including penguins in their hatching season.
The film reports on the new phenomenon of suicide among penguins, the imminent rise of the world’s sea level due to ice melting and show amazing footage of new vegetation growing in the world’s largest desert.
These new discoveries were considered so valuable that this film became the only one invited by the United Nations to screen to world leaders during the Climate ChangeConference in Copenhagen, December, 2009.
The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning provides audiences with a rare glimpse of the Earth’s most undiscovered continent through the eyes of award-winning cinematographer, Damir Chytil, CSC, one of the world’s foremost polar cameramen and a pioneer of HD film photography.
It is the mandate of this documentary to bring to light the theories and statistics first brought to the public’s attention in An Inconvenient Truth with hands-on exploration of the continent, its wildlife and the brave men and women who have given up the comforts of civilization in order to save it.

...Each year, scientists from 28 different nations conduct experiments not reproducible in any other place in the world. In the summer more than 4,000 scientists operate research stations; this number decreases to just over 1,000 in the winter. McMurdo Station, which is the largest research station in Antarctica, is capable of housing more than 1,000 scientists, visitors, and tourists.
Researchers include biologists, geologists, oceanographers, physicists, astronomers, glaciologists, and meteorologists. Geologists tend to study plate tectonics, meteorites from outer space, and resources from the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwanaland. Glaciologists in Antarctica are concerned with the study of the history and dynamics of floating ice, seasonal snow, glaciers, and ice sheets. Biologists, in addition to examining the wildlife, are interested in how harsh temperatures and the presence of people affect adaptation and survival strategies in a wide variety of organisms. Medical physicians have made discoveries concerning the spreading of viruses and the body's response to extreme seasonal temperatures. Astrophysicists at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station study the celestial dome and cosmic microwave background radiation. Many astronomical observations are better made from the interior of Antarctica than from most surface locations because of the high elevation, which results in a thin atmosphere, low temperature, which minimizes the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere, and absence of light pollution, thus allowing for a view of space clearer than anywhere else on Earth. Antarctic ice serves as both the shield and the detection medium for the largest neutrino telescope in the world, built 2 km (1.2 mi) below Amundsen-Scott station.
Since the 1970s, an important focus of study has been the ozone layer in the atmosphere above Antarctica. In 1985, three BritishScientists working on data they had gathered at Halley Station on the Brunt Ice Shelf discovered the existence of a hole in this layer. It was eventually determined that the destruction of the ozone was caused by chlorofluorocarbons emitted by human products. With the ban of CFCs in the Montreal Protocol of 1989, it is believed that the ozone hole will close up by around 2065. In September2006, NASA satellite data showed that the Antarctic ozone hole was the largest on record, covering 27.5 million km2 (10.6 million sq mi).
On 6 September2007, Belgian-based International Polar Foundation unveiled the Princess Elisabeth station, the world's first zero-emissions polar science station in Antarctica to research climate change. Costing $16.3 million, the prefabricated station, which is part of International Polar Year, was shipped to the South Pole from Belgium by the end of 2008 to monitor the health of the polar regions. Belgian polar explorer Alain Hubert stated: "This base will be the first of its kind to produce zero emissions, making it a unique model of how energy should be used in the Antarctic." Johan Berte is the leader of the station design team and manager of the project which conducts research in climatology, glaciology and microbiology.
In January 2008, the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) scientists, led by Hugh Corr and David Vaughan, reported (in the journal Nature Geoscience) that 2,200 years ago, a volcano erupted under Antarctica's ice sheet (based on airborne survey with radar images). The biggest eruption in Antarctica in the last 10,000 years, the volcanic ash was found deposited on the ice surface under the Hudson Mountains, close to Pine Island Glacier...

With the ban of CFCs in the Montreal Protocol of 1989, it is believed that the ozone hole will close up by around 2065. In September2006, NASA satellite data showed that the Antarctic ozone hole was the largest on record, covering 27.5 million km2 (10.6 million sq mi).
On 6 September2007, Belgian-based International Polar Foundation unveiled the Princess Elisabeth station, the world's first zero-emissions polar science station in Antarctica to research climate change. Costing $16.3 million, the prefabricated station, which is part of International Polar Year, was shipped to the South Pole from Belgium by the end of 2008 to monitor the health of the polar regions. Belgian polar explorer Alain Hubert stated: "This base will be the first of its kind to produce zero emissions, making it a unique model of how energy should be used in the Antarctic." Johan Berte is the leader of the station design team and manager of the project which conducts research in climatology, glaciology and microbiology.
In January 2008, the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) scientists, led by Hugh Corr and David Vaughan, reported (in the journal Nature Geoscience) that 2,200 years ago, a volcano erupted under Antarctica's ice sheet (based on airborne survey with radar images). The biggest eruption in Antarctica in the last 10,000 years, the volcanic ash was found deposited on the ice surface under the Hudson Mountains, close to Pine Island Glacier...

National Geographic Documentary - Leopard Seal The King Of Antarctica - Wildlife Animal

The leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx), also referred to as the sea leopard, is the second largest species of seal in the Antarctic (after the southern elephant seal). Along with all of the other earless seals, it belongs to the family Phocidae, and is the only species in the genus Hydrurga. The name hydrurga means "water worker" and leptonyx is the Greek for "small clawed".
The leopard seal is large and muscular, with a dark grey back and light grey on its stomach. Its throat is whitish with the black spots that give the seal its common name. Females are slightly larger than the males.[3] The overall length of this seal is 2.4–3.5 m (7.9–11.5 ft) and weight is from 200 to 600 kilograms (440 to 1,320 lb). They are about the same length as the northern walrus, but usually less than half the weight.
Its front teeth are sharp like those of other carnivores, but its molars lock together in a way that allows them to sieve krill from the water, in the manner of the crabeater seal.
The leopard seal lives in the cold waters surrounding the Antarctic continent. Where most seals remain restricted within the pack ice throughout the year,[6] [7] some (mostly young animals) move further north in the austral winter to subantarctic islands and the coastlines of the southern continents. They are difficult to survey by traditional visual techniques[8] because they spend long periods of time vocalizing under the water during the austral spring and summer - when visual surveys are carried out. This trait of vocalizing underwater for long periods however has made them available to acoustic surveys.[9] Leopard seals are solitary and widely distributed throughout the pack ice. Higher densities of leopard seals are seen in the Western Antarctic than in other regions.
Leopard seals are very vocal underwater during the austral summer.[9] The male seals produce loud calls (153 to 177 dB re 1 μPa at 1 m) for many hours each day.[12] While singing the seal hangs upside down and rocks from side to side under the water. Their back is bent, the neck and cranial thoracic region (the chest) is inflated and as they call their chest pulses. Adult male leopard seals have only a few stylized calls, some are like bird or cricket-like trills yet others are low haunting moans.[13] The leopard seals have age-related differences in their calling patterns, just like birds. Where the younger male seals have many different types of variable calls - the adult male seals have only a few, highly stylized calls.[14] Each male seal produces individually distinctive songs. They arrange their few call types into individually distinctive sequences (or songs).[15] The acoustic behavior of the leopard seal is believed to be linked to their breeding behaviour. In male seals, vocalizing coincides with the timing of their breeding season, which falls between November and the first week of January; captive female seals vocalize when they have elevated reproductive hormones.

Very little data of any kind exists from the early spring in the Arctic. The reason? It's extremely cold and that makes it difficult to survive, let alone conduct science. From March through the end of April, 2011, scientists from around the world braved temperatures of -48˚C in the high Canadian Arctic in the name of science. At the Catlin Arctic Survey's floating 'Ice Base' off Ellef Ringnes Island, Dr. Victoria Hill was investigating how organic material in fresh water near the surface of the ocean may be trapping heat from the sun, causing the upper ocean layers to warm. This is a very new area of research and this mechanism represents a key uncertainty in accurate modeling of ice thickness and upper ocean heat content. In this presentation Dr. Hill will talk about living and working at the ice base and discuss preliminary data from the expedition.

Continuing the Exploration at the Frontline collaboration between the Frontline Club and the Scientific Exploration Society, BBCScience editor David Shukman will chair a panel of explorers, scientists, reporters and experts to better understand how Arctic exploration has changed over the years.
The panel will discuss how knowledge and understanding of environmental impact, extraction of resources and geopolitical issues have moulded the region, and what the consequences are for those of us watching from afar. With oil firm Royal Dutch Shell having recently won conditional approval from the US Department of Interior to explore for oil in the Arctic, we will be asking what this kind of exploration means for the region.
This event will be chaired by BBC Science editor David Shukman, whose reports on research have taken him as far afield as the Antarctic ice-sheet, the Amazon rainforest and the depths of the Gulf of Mexico. Since joining the BBC in 1983, he has covered Northern Ireland, defence, Europe and world affairs. He is author of An Iceberg As Big As Manhattan: Reporting from science’s new frontlines and Reporting Live from the End of the World.

Previously, he was director of the Bristol Glaciology Center at Bristol University and head of the School of GeoSciences at Edinburgh University. His particular field of expertise is to use geophysics to measure the subglacial landscape and understand what this tells us about changes to the environment. In 2013 he was awarded the Martha T. Muse Prize for excellence in Antarctic science and policy, and in 2007 he was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
Charles Emmerson is a writer and historian based in London. He is the author of The FutureHistory of the Arctic, exploring the past, present and future of our relationship with the Arctic, from past mythologies of the north to the modern emergence of the Arctic as a zone of geopolitical interest and massive environmental change. He is an Associate Fellow at Chatham House.
Frank Hewetson has worked for Greenpeace for over 25 years. He has particular knowledge of protest against the off-shore oil industry, he has spent many months at sea and worked consistently on the Arctic campaign for the last 5 years, and was one of the ‘Arctic 30’ detained by the Russians in September 2013.

Antarctica may be dubbed the last true wilderness, but for how much longer? Increasingly the subject of global headlines, its latest challenge may not come from warming climates, or the fight for resource exploitation, but something seemingly more innocuous. Tourism. Here Kim Crosbie talks about the challenges and successes in the sustainable development of tourism in one of the world's most pristine landscapes, and how this may be developed in the future.
Kim Crosbie is the Executive Director of the secretariat of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators and has been working in the polar regions since 1991. She first started working in Antarctica as part of her PhD. She has been awarded the Polar Medal for contributions to knowledge in Arctic and Antarctic regions.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
